It's not just triggers! It's the content labels themselves.

A point I frequently belabor is that sexism =/= misogyny (and many other similar such semantic differences). But a lot of people keep using them interchangeably - hell I used to, when I didn't even know that there was a difference between them, and this nearly caused a rift between me and my father. And every time that happens, that both trivializes what misogyny really means and makes actual discussion about these issues nearly impossible because the basic common words necessary for that discussion are so blurred together you can't use them.

And, as I've mentioned elsewhere, there's overwarning. You start warning for things that are only there if you actively look for them, soon you'll be warning for things that aren't there at all, and that'll make trigger warnings entirely meaningless. Not to mention lock people out of fandom because everything has a dozen warnings attached and there isn't anyway to tell if that warning is for a single line or the entire fic, and either way you can't read it because of that risk.

Exactly. I once had someone tell me that I needed to put a trigger warning for rape on a fic because it made a single oblique reference to a possible sexual assault in the past. It didn't even use the word "rape," it was a "squint and you'll miss it" kind of thing. What's more, the canon itself contained implied near-rape.

If one single slight mention makes you that upset, how did you get through the original canon?

I've seen people "tw:rape" for using the word rape in a post.

But.. you used it in the "trigger warning". What the fucking hell?

Exactly, it's gotten to the point where I just don't understand it at all. I understand using it for a graphic depiction of the trigger or if it's talked about a lot in the fic, but putting a warning just for the use of a word, especially when the warning itself uses the word? It's just ludicrous, and I refuse to use trigger warnings that way. It defeats their purpose.
